*THR  FIRST  PRINTED  EDITION  of  the  works  of  this  philosopher.  This  is  Jo.  B.  Rosarius 
copy,  whose  signature  is  on  the  title-page.  Rosarius  was  a  famous  French  humanist,  Greek 
scholar  and  physician  of  the  beginning  of  the  16th  Century.  He  was  the  first  to  translate 
Alexander  from  Aphrodisia  s  works  into  Latin,  and  he  evidently  intended  to  publish  the  correct 
Greek  text  of  the  philosopher.  The  present  volume  as  corrected  by  Rosarius  represents  this 
correct  text ,  which  never  was  published.  As  Rosarius  states  in  his  long  manuscript  note  on  the 
title-page,  he  collated  this  printed  Aldine  text  with  not  less  than  five  ancient  manuscript 
codices,  one  of  which  was  in  his  own  possession  (he  refers  to  it  as  “codex  meus  ”  or  abbre¬ 
viated  c.  m.),  the  other  in  S.  Mark’s  library  in  Venice  (vetus  codex  or  v.  c. );  the  third  codex  is 
referred  to  as  “  antiquus  codex”  or  a.  c.,  etc. 

In  a  beautiful  handwriting  Rosarius  gives  us  the  different  readings  of  the  five  different 
codices  as  compared  with  the  Aldine  text.  It  is  therefore  safe  to  say  that  this  book  is,  from  a 
scholarly  standpoint  as  well  as  from  the  point  of  view  of  a  collector,  a  very  extraordinary 
treasure.

Wherein  several  great  and  weighty  Things  are  handled.  As  the  Nature  of
